The Lone Ranger
danny_galaga:
Yes, I enjoyed this too! Same people who did Pirates of the Caribbean. Lots of laughs, great special effects and I think a fairly well thought out origin story. I can get hung up on technical things, but if the movie is fun, who cares if in real life, if you shoot the train driver and fireman, and then jam the throttle on full, the train might go a bit faster for maybe a minute before slowing down for lack of steam.
If you liked the first Pirates, you will like this. If you didn't like Pirates, you have a rod up your ass, and should just stick to your Ingmar Bergman boxed set...
4/5 bars of silver (",)

I thought this was a horror picture. Tonto looks like a monster from a George Romero movie.

I don't care how fun it is, the Lone Ranger was an untouchable tv classic, by remaking something that shouldn't have been remade in the way it was (wtf is Depp supposed to be? Captain Jack with a dead parrot on his head?) Hollywood ruined another franchise.
Also Danny you seem to like every movie you see... movie critics are supposed to hate everything they see so you can easily tell when something really good comes along. ;)

I think you are giving Hollywood a little too much credit. How can you ruin something that is largely forgotten?
By the way, a good site for movie reviews for curmudgeons like you/me is www.Pajiba.com
